Today we finished up with our classes, met with our mentor groups to discuss our action plans and celebrated our time here at the Helen Kemp Banquet. Everyone received certificates and the Year 3s celebrated their graduation from the program. The faculty even sang a song to the tune of “Be Our Guest” that honored each of the Year 3s and the contribution they had made to the program.

It was a day full of reflection and celebration. Pictures were taken, hugs were given and goodbyes were said. Throughout the day, with each final class and conversation, the same message found its way to my heart. “Ok Rebecca, now you know what to do… so, go out there and do it!
